Running In Place

[Deleted]

Whats wrong with this picture/

just take my words with ya/

and memorize the lines to keep em fresh in ya mind/

and look over yourself and change the way ya livin/

i KNOW takin feels good but its nothin like givin/

THESE be positive encouragin lyrics that im spittin/

givin FUZZY FEELINS to the hearts and souls that LISTEN/

used to be a menace to society- til i found sobriety/

now im screamin this shit for all ya EYES to see/

fairness and equality are only in games/

and life is not a game so all this fightin is in vain/

now tell me why your always so high as the sky/

and why ya followin in footsteps of people who will die/

we were livin foolish lifes of robbery and homicide/

and now we're sellin drugs LYIN sayin we're tryin to survive/

whats the reason why-whats the reason why/

why you spend most of your time doin things u have to hide/

and why does love and being kind have to stay inside/

and why do all the ones that love you have to pay the PRICE/

engagin my mind in surrounding noise/

people paying no attention to these boys with toys/

these delusional teens running in place in the streets/

poppin GUN AND GRENADES-cover the city in SMOKE SHEETS/

we know that life is short-but your makin it shorter/

ANARCHY reins in this new world order/

and care and love DIMINSH to ma-ter-i-al things/

n ya kids--'ll grow-up and never see a set of wings/

Ill be high in the sky as it falls to the ground/

as it crashes to ashes - ENEMY DOWN/

sex drugs and money on the minds of many/

becolmes an every day lifestyle sippin on henny/

but then its henny to a line n its sittin on ya mind/

n ya runnin blind-becomin unaware of time/

n now ya soo sky high that everythin slips by/

and ya sittin at ya deathbed askin god WHY/
